All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
It's November..for some people, that means it's ok to already start listening to Christmas music. Others are nowhere near ready for the holiday season that is fast approaching.
It seems every year Christmas decorations come out earlier and earlier in the stores. I saw some out at Garden Ridge back at the end of July! Typically though, it seems that department stores start their decorations around the beginning of October and go full force right before Halloween.
For my family, it was our "rule" that Christmas decorations go up right after Thanksgiving and come down around New Year's. Since I've been on my own the past two years with holiday decorating in my own house, I don't have a ton of things like my parents do..but I have my fair share of Christmas decorations.
Last year from November through March, I went through real estate hell. I spent all of December in a hotel while my stuff was in storage..moved back home and lived with only a mattress on the floor, a tv and boxes spread among me for the next 4 months. Needless to say, I didn't put out any Christmas decorations last year...
This past weekend, I found my Christmas decorations and I got so excited to put them out since I really had not seen them in almost two years. It doesn't feel like the holiday season yet to me...the warmer than usual temperatures and no snow on the ground are contributing to that. I am anxious to put my few items out, but feel I can't until Thanksgiving....
So, what's your rule on holiday decorations? Are you a Scrooge or anxiously await by the chimney for Santa Claus?
